Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu!
This recipe is for Pan-Fried Lemon Chicken Breast. It was made by my mother, and is a really good way of cooking chicken that has the flavour (and the gravy) of a roast chicken, but without putting the oven on. The chicken can be eaten with any side dish you like, but the leftovers are even better the next day in a sandwich or stir-fry.
